Turn right toward Hollis Street[1].Turn right toward Hollis Street.Turn right toward Hollis Street. O Light, O Apollo, O Hohorn[2], give us the fruit that has passed through the womb and conceived in the womb.O God of Light, O God of Apollo, O Horn, bestow on us the fruit that has passed through the period of fetal movement and was conceived in the womb.O God of Light, O God of Apollo, O Horn, bestow on us the fruit that has passed through the period of fetal movement and was conceived in the womb. Hula, baby boy, boy baby, hooray! [3] Hula, boy oh boy, Hula!Hula, baby boy, boy baby, hooray!

It is the opinion, often advocated, and accepted by society, by the men of the most doctrinal knowledge and therefore the most respected, noble and proud, that a nation does not prosper by its outward splendor, so long as other circumstances remain the same. It depends on the degree of consideration and improvement that the nation places on reproduction.The absence of this constitutes the root of evil.If you have this gift today, you will be able to ensure that you will receive the pure grace of the almighty nature.Anyone who claims to be ignorant here must have very superficial knowledge of things (i.e., research which a man of insight considers to be of great benefit) and is by no means a sage.This is the general view of the world.Anyone who can understand important things must know that the brilliance on the surface is nothing but to cover up the weakness inside.And no matter how stupid they are, they should also realize that all the blessings bestowed by nature are incomparable with the blessings of reproduction. Therefore, all honest citizens must advise and advise their fellow citizens, and be anxious about them, lest the glorious achievements created by their own nation in the past , and cannot be carried forward in the future.Would it not be abhorrent if, because of the folly of custom, the honorable habits handed down from generation to generation belittled, their far-reaching significance was denied, and the lofty principles of childbirth were thus neglected!Covering this essence is the prophecy of reproduction made by God[4] and the warning to reduce reproduction, and ordered all human beings to act in accordance with it and make it a promise.

It is not surprising, therefore, that among the Celts, who, according to eminent historians, had nothing of their own to value, and never valued anything, medicine alone was highly esteemed. [5] It goes without saying that there are hospitals, leper asylums, steam baths, and plague patient burials. Their famous doctors, the Osher family, the Oshiki family, and the Ollie family[6] have also worked tirelessly to formulate Remedies for the rehabilitation of the sick and relapses—whether they be afflicted with breast milk, consumption, or dysentery.Any meaningful social health care undertaking must be carefully prepared.They then adopted a plan[7] (I don't know whether it is the result of careful consideration, or it is the result of years of experience, it is hard to say. Because the opinions of later researchers are different, so far there is no conclusion): Childbirth is the biggest problem women face. suffering.At this time, they only need to pay a negligible fee, no matter whether their family is well-off, or they can barely make ends meet, or even poor, the maternity hospital will provide necessary medical treatment to protect pregnant women from any possible accidents.

As far as pregnant women are concerned: there should be no worries before and after childbirth, for all citizens know that without a fertile mother like Yi, no prosperity can be achieved.They know that only because of motherhood can they enjoy eternity and godliness, death and birth.Inspired by the use of vehicles to transport pregnant women to the maternity home, other women are also eager to be taken in by the hospital.Everyone saw a future mother in the mother, and the mother felt that she was beginning to be loved.Great, this is the achievement of his steady nation!Not only to witness, but also to praise and praise.

Babies are blessed before they are born.While still in the womb, he was praised.Everything that should be done on such occasions has been done.Before giving birth, everyone, by virtue of wise foresight, prepared the couch guarded by the midwife, wholesome food, and comfortable and clean clothes, as if the baby had been born.There are also medicines and surgical instruments needed for giving birth to pregnant women.In addition, you are ingenious, hanging beautiful scenery from all over the world indoors, accompanied by portraits of gods and mortals.Pregnant women are pregnant with Liujia, and when the delivery period is approaching, they will come to this sunny and firm building for childbirth.This is a clean and beautiful mother's home. The surrounding scenery is pleasing to the eye, which promotes the peristalsis of the abdomen, so that the childbirth can be smooth.

As night fell, Ren, a homeless man, stood at the entrance of the maternity hospital.This man belongs to the tribe of Israel, and out of compassion, he walked alone and traveled a long distance to this maternity hospital. Ann Horne is Master of the House.He has seventy beds in this hospital, and the pregnant woman lies on the bed, endures the labor pains, and gives birth to a healthy baby, just as the angel sent by God told Mary. [8] Two white-clothed nurses stayed up all night, patrolling the delivery room, relieving pain and treating illnesses for pregnant women, up to 300 times a year.The two worked hard to guard the ward for Horn, and they were indeed infinitely loyal nurses.Just as the nurses were fulfilling their duties, a nurse suddenly heard a kind-hearted man arrive.Yi Sui wrapped her turban around her head, stepped forward and opened the door.Erdan saw a blinding flash of lightning across the western part of Ireland.The nurse couldn't help being afraid, suspecting that the God of Wrath had descended, and wanted to destroy the human race with a downpour to punish her for her crimes.The nurse was busy making the sign of the cross on her chest, and invited the visitors to enter the shabby room quickly.The man accepted his kindness and entered the Horn Maternity Hospital.

The visitor was afraid of being rash, so he stood in the foyer of the Horn Maternity Hospital with his hat on.Gebi once lived under the same roof as the nurse with his beloved wife and daughter.Since then, I have been wandering on land and sea for nine years.One day, I met a nurse at the pier of this city.The nurse saluted him, and he returned the salute without taking off his hat.Now I am here to ask the nurse for forgiveness, and explained: The last time I passed by, I felt that you were very young, so I didn't dare to recognize you rashly.When the nurse heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.Red flowers bloomed on the face.

At this time, the nurse turned her eyes to the black mourning clothes worn by the visitor, and was full of sorrow, asking what happened to him.Then dispel doubts.He asked if Dr. O'Hare had sent a message from the far shore?The nurse was so sad that she sighed and said: Dr. O'Hare has gone to heaven.When the man heard this, he was deeply saddened and heartbroken.At this moment, the nurse confides the whole situation and expresses deep condolences to the friend who died young, but she also said that this is due to the legitimate will of God, and dare not make unreasonable comments.The nurse said: By the grace of the Lord, he had confessed to the priest who presided over the mass at his deathbed and received Holy Communion.The sick body is anointed with holy oil, and a clean and good death is obtained.The man asked the nurse sincerely, what disease did the deceased suffer from?The nurse replied that he died of bowel cancer on Mona Island.The upcoming Holy Child Martyrdom Festival[10] is the third anniversary of his death.The nurse prays to the merciful God that his dear soul may gain eternal life.When the man heard what happened to Chen Ke in the nurse's office, he held his cap and stared in amazement.The two stood there for a moment, both immersed in gloom and grief.

Therefore, when people are alive, they should anticipate their final destination.All those born from the mother's womb will eventually face death and turn into dust.We come from our mother's womb naked, and we will eventually die naked. The man asked the nurse: "How is the condition of the expectant woman?"The nurse replied: The woman's labor pains have lasted for three days and nights. It is really an unbearable dystocia, but she is about to give birth.Yi Fu said, I have witnessed how many women give birth, and there have never been any dystocia.Yisui told the whole story to the man who had lived here.The man listened to his words and was amazed at the insight into the pain of women in childbirth.He looked at Yi's handsome face in the eyes of any man, and wondered why Yi had stayed as a servant for so many years.In the past nine years, she has had 12 menstrual periods every year, blaming Yi He for not being able to conceive, and causing the blood to drain in vain.

While they were talking, the gates of the castle[11] opened, and the din of many diners sounded nearby.A young student (a knight) named Dixon[12] stepped up to where they stood.The traveler Leopold met him.When the student knight was serving in the Hospital of Our Lady of Mercy for some reason, the traveler Leopold was stabbed in the chest by a terrible and ugly dragon with a javelin, and he was seriously injured. [13] went to see a doctor.The knight once applied a large amount of volatile oil and holy oil to the wound and treated it properly.At this time, he said to Leopold: "Want to enter the castle to drink and have fun with everyone?" The traveler Leopold was cautious and resourceful, and replied that there was another place to go.The woman knew that Leopold was lying out of prudence, but felt the same for him, and she chided the student knight for suggesting so.However, the student knight did not allow the traveler to say "no", did not allow the traveler to go against his will, and turned a deaf ear to the woman's condemnation; he said: "What a wonderful castle that is." Trekking, sometimes indulgent, limbs ache, so I went to the fort to rest for a while.

In the center of the castle, there is a Finnish birch table supported by four dwarves from the country.They were bewitched by sorcery and could not move.On the table were several large and small swords, which were very cold; they were all forged with white flames in the great cave of the smelting demon king, and they were set with the horns of buffaloes and stags that lived there.In addition, there are many containers made of sea sand and air by the magic of Mahand[14], and blown by the magician with the air of the dantian.There are all kinds of delicacies on the table, and no one can make such rich and delicious dishes.There is also a silver cylinder, the lid of which can only be opened with special skills.Inside lies a headless strange fish. [15] In this situation, it is hard for those who are skeptical to believe it unless they have seen it with their own eyes.The fish are dipped in an oil that comes from Portugal; it is so fatty that it resembles oil pressed from olives.In the fort, a mixture made from plump wheat embryos produced by Chaldea[16] by magic, and then inflated with strong spirits to form a mountain-like thing. [17] They also thrust long poles into the ground, made snakes entangle them, and brewed a drink like mead from the scales of the snakes. The student knight asked the nobleman Leopold to pour wine and persuade him to drink, just like everyone in the seat.The nobleman Leopold lifted his visor[18] in order to please him, and tasted a little to show his friendship.However, he was not in the habit of drinking honey wine, so he put the wine glass aside, and poured half of the glass into the neighbor's cup in a short while, but the neighbor didn't realize it.He sat with everyone in the fort for a while to rest.Thank you Lord Almighty. At this moment, the good nurse stood at the door, begging everyone, out of reverence for our Altar Lord Jesus, to suspend the feast, because a pregnant lady on the upper floor was about to give birth.Sir Leopold heard the screams upstairs and was wondering who it was coming from: son?Mother? "Strange," said the knight, "been born now before you have been born? How long has it been!" I saw a year-old squire sitting across the table, both famous and wealthy knights, both knights of high honor.Leopold was a few years older, so he said elegantly and earnestly: "By the grace of God, I will give birth soon, and I will have a baby. I have been waiting for a long time." The drunken squire said: "This The son is the one who is always looking forward to." [19] Without waiting for invitation or persuasion, he immediately raised the cup in front of his eyes and said, "Don't drink hard!" He drank freely and wished the health of the mother and child.Gabby is known for being good at having fun.Sir Leopold was the best guest ever in the student mess hall, the gentlest husband who put his hand down the hen[20]'s belly, and the most faithful knight in the world who gave his love to a noble lady. toasted.He wondered at the plight of women. The topic turned to everyone drinking and getting drunk.Sitting on both sides of the table are: Dixon, a second-year student at the Hospital of Our Lady of Mercy, his fellow medical students Lynch and Marden[21], Squire Lenehan, Crothers from Alba Longa[22] ], and young Stephen.Stephen's face resembled that of a monk, and he was sitting in the upper seat. There was also Costello, who had been nicknamed "Punch[23] Costello" not long ago for his brave drinking (except for the young Stephen, he was the oldest in the seat) Drunken, the more drunk he begs for mead), and then there is the modest Sir Leopold.Now the people were waiting for the young Malachi, who had promised to come.Those who feel unhappy blame him for breaking the appointment.Sir Leopold remained at the table, and Gabby was intimate with Sir Simon and his son, young Stephen.After his long journey, he was well received and his fatigue gradually subsided.Love drives him to wander around, but now he is full of friendship and cannot bear to leave suddenly. Both bright students, they debate childbirth and justice.Under such circumstances[24] it would be too cruel to allow the mother to die, underscored the young Marden (a now-deceased Abrana[25] woman faced this problem at the Horn Maternity Hospital some years ago. Before his death, all doctors and pharmacists had consulted with Iraq).People also said that at the beginning of the creation of the world, it was said that women had to experience "the pains of childbirth" [26], so they should be allowed to live.Those who hold the same opinion assert that what the young Marden said about allowing a mother to die has no conscience is true.Although those with bad intentions don't believe it, many people, including the young Lynch, believe that the world is being dominated by unprecedented evil, and neither the law nor judges can correct it.But he prayed: "God, beg for rectification." As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted in unison: "No, the Virgin Mary, the wife should live, and the baby should die." Arguing and drinking, Making their faces flushed, the squire Lenehan, fearing that the banquet would lack joy, poured strong beer for everyone frequently.The young Marten then told the truth exactly, and how the mother died, and her husband, with pious faith, obeyed the advice of the mendicant monks and prayer monks, and according to the oath he swore to St. Urdan of Albracán[27] , How did you pray that Iraq would not die.After hearing this, everyone mourned endlessly.Young Stephen said: "Your lords, there are frequent whispers among the lay people. Now, the baby and its mother, one in the outer edge of hell[28] in chaos and chaos, and the other in the flames of purgatory, worship the Creator together. However, according to The will of God, the soul that should live, we destroy night by night, are we not guilty of sin against the Holy Spirit, God himself, the Lord and the giver of life[29]? For gentlemen," he said again: "Our lust is like a fleeting cloud. To our inner life, we are just a medium. Nature has other intentions." Young Dixon immediately said to Punch Costello: "Do you understand its purpose?" However, he was so drunk that he only said: "In order to vent the stagnant lust, as long as there is an opportunity, he will rape other people's wives, virgins, or mistresses." At this moment, Alba Long Caldecrothers sings the hymn of the young Malachi to the unicorn[30] which grows its horn every thousand years.Everyone listened, laughed and ridiculed, saying: "I swear by the name of St. Fortinus [31], it is well known that whatever a man can do, his [32] organs can do it." There were giggles and giggles, but young Stephen and Sir Leopold were not.Opold didn't say anything, but he thought differently.No matter who or where she gave birth, she has a heart of compassion.Young Stephen speaks proudly of the Church of the Mother[33] trying to push him out of her arms, of the canons and of Lillis, the patron saint of abortion.And talk about the various causes of pregnancy: either by the wind sowing the glorious seeds[34], or by the magic of the vampire mouth to mouth[35] conceived; or, as Virgil said, by the power of the west wind[36] ], or take advantage of the stench of moonlight flowers, or go to sleep with a woman who has just slept with her husband without delay [37].According to Averroes and Moses Maimonides, it is possible to conceive while bathing. [38] He also said: "At the end of the next month, the fetus is injected into a human soul. Our holy mother[39] will always protect all souls for the greater glory of God. The earth mother is just a baby. It is only a female beast, which according to the canon should die. So does St. Peter who holds the fisherman's seal. The holy church is forever built on the rock Peter.[40]" The bachelors asked Sir Leopold: "In similar circumstances In order to save a life, do you not hesitate to let the pregnant woman risk her life?" He is cautious, and in order to make a reply that caters to everyone's wishes, he rests his chin with his hand and pretends according to his habit: "Although I am a layman, I love medical skills; I have witnessed For such a rare event, I think it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone if the mother church can receive the donations for birth and death at the same time.” Then I used these words to divert their doubts. "That's true," Dixon said, "and if I hear you right, it's a very meaningful statement." Upon hearing this, young Stephen was overjoyed, and asserted, "He who steals from poverty lends to the Lord." [42] Whenever he was drunk, he would show his madness, and now he has returned to his old ways. But Sir Leopold, for all his talk, was troubled.Gaypi still pitied the woman in childbirth, who screamed frightfully because of her labor pains.He also thought of his virtuous wife, Marion, who had given birth to his only son. Due to lack of medical treatment and ill-fated life, the baby died eleven days after birth.Yi was heartbroken for this unforeseen misfortune.It was mid-winter, and fearing that her son would freeze to death and leave no bones left, Yi made an exquisite bodice of lamb's wool, commonly known as the flower of the flock, and wrapped it around her body.After Sir Leopold lost his heir, whenever he saw the son of a friend, he missed the happiness of the past and was immersed in sadness.Sad, of course, is the farewell to such a good-hearted heir (everyone has high hopes for his future), and it is also sad for young Stephen, who is in the company of rascals, drinking and raging, and ruining his property on whores. [43] At this moment, young Stephen filled the empty cup, and there would be little left if someone more cautious than him stepped forward to stop him.Stephen continued to be busy persuading him to drink, praying for the blessing of the Pope, and offering a toast to the vicar of Christ, saying that the Pope can be called the bishop of Bray diocese[44].Stephen said: "Cheers, gentlemen, and mead. Though not of my body, it is a symbol of my soul. To those who live on bread alone,[45] give bread. Don't worry that wine will be scarce. Bread Depresses, but wine soothes. Behold!" And with these words, he presented the tribute: two pounds and nineteen shillings in glittering coins and goldsmith's notes[46].It is said that this is the reward for his songs.Everyone here knows that he has always been in short supply, so they are all surprised when they see this huge sum of money.At this time, his speech was as follows: "Listen to me, gentlemen, build the palace of eternity on the ruins of time. What is the meaning of this statement? The wind of lust destroys the thornbush, and then the thornbush sprouts in the small garden of time. , blooming roses. Listen to my words: In the womb of a woman, the Tao became flesh[47], but in the heart of the Creator, all the flesh that must perish are transformed into the Tao that will not perish. This is the second creation. All flesh and blood come and submit. How mighty is the name of our mighty mother, the venerable mother[48], who conceived the noble body of the Redeemer for mortals (i.e., the Savior, the Shepherd). Bernard[49] It is true! The Blessed Virgin Mary possesses the omnipotent art of supplication[50] to God. The remote ancestors with whom we are related by the endless umbilical cord[51], for a cheap apple, my descendants, races , the ancestors betrayed all generations, and Mary, as the second Eve, saved all living beings, as Augustine [52] said. The problem is: the second Eve knew that Christ is the Son of God, and as the Virgin Mother, you son daughter of God,[53] only a creature of the Creator; or not knowing that Christ, the Son of God, and Peter the fisherman and Joseph the carpenter who lived in the house Jack built[54] and who made all unhappy marriages consummated Patron saint) together deny Jesus or ignore Jesus. [55] Leo Taxil told me that the one who brought Iraq to this embarrassing situation is also the Holy Pigeon. God have mercy on us! [ 56] It is not the theory of transmutation or the theory of the same body, but it is definitely not substantive.[57]" After hearing this, everyone shouted: "This statement is despicable." There are no scars, and the abdomen is not bulging. The lustful person can piously and warmly praise it. I Cao categorically resisted and resisted." At this moment, Punch Costello sang the vile ditty "Stabe Stabra" with a bang on the boxing table, saying that the drunk had impregnated a girl in Armani[58], and went away shouted: Not feeling well for the first trimester, Stubb.Nurse Quigley yelled from the door, "Aren't you ashamed! Be quiet." Guy was determined to get everything in order before Mr. Andrew arrived.They should be urged to bear in mind that they should be urged to bear in mind that the idle noise may damage the reputation of Yi Duqin.The old nurse has a sad face, a serene expression, and a steady pace. She is dressed in a dark brown robe, which matches her wrinkled and gloomy face.This exhortation took immediate effect, and Punch Costello became the target of public criticism.They either acted softly or hard, gave instruction, or severely reprimanded the villager.They condemned in unison: "Idiots suffering from the plague!" "Daredevils!" "Insufficient months!" "Shut up your god-damned monkey mouth and stop talking nonsense!" Leopold, a wise gentleman characterized by a gentle and calm demeanor, also advised: "The present is the most sacred It is also the most inviolable hour. The Horn Maternity Home should be enveloped in an atmosphere of silence." Long story short.Afterwards, Mr. Dixon of the Hospital of Our Lady of Mercy on Eccles Street smiled knowingly and asked the young Stephen, "Why didn't you take the oath to become a monk?" Since chastity. I have been poor all my life, and it is not out of my original intention." Mr. Li Neihan immediately retorted: "I have heard of your evil deeds." Then he told all that he had heard: that he had defiled the woman who trusted him. Lily-like chastity, this is the depraved behavior of minors.The whole audience proved that it was true, and they cheered loudly, cheering for him as a father.But Stephen said: "It is quite different from what you think. I am the Son of Eternity, and I am still a virgin." After hearing this, the crowd cheered more and more, and said to him: "Your wedding is like a strange ceremony held by priests on Madagascar [ 59] : Strip off the bride’s clothes to make them lose their chastity. The bride is wrapped in plain white and orange wedding dress, and the groom is dressed in white and carmine clothes. They both lie on the wedding bed with pine oil and small candles. All the priests sing together. 'Lord'[60] and the hymn 'To know all the mysteries of coitus'[61], until the bride is broken on the spot." The tragedy of "The Tragedy of Love" is intended to enlighten couples to teach everyone the wonderful wedding ditties.With the harmonious accompaniment of the Virginal [62], the refrain is repeatedly sung: "Go to bed! Go to bed!" [63] This wonderful and beautiful happy song gives young couples great comfort and confidence.Illuminated by the rich and gorgeous candles held by the bridesmaids, they came to the four-legged stage used by the phoenix and the phoenix. "These two have had the good fortune to meet each other," said Mr. Dickson, "but listen to me, young gentleman, and they will rather be called Beau Monte and Letcher.[64] This union will bear fruit. Very rich." Young Stephen said, he remembered clearly that the two of them shared a mistress, who was actually a prostitute. [65] At that time, life was full of joy and joy[66], and Yi was in between the two.Hometown customs[67] are quite tolerant of this. "A man lets his wife sleep with a friend," he said, "there is no greater love in the world. [68] 'Go, do it the same way!' [69] These words, or other words with similar meanings, are From Professor Zarathustra[70] who gave the King's Lectures on 'French Literature' at the University of Oxtail. This man has bestowed upon mankind a bounty that no one can match. Bring a stranger into your round turret, and you will sleep once Good bed[71], or catastrophe is sure to come. Brothers, pray for me.[72] Then they all said: 'Ah men.' Let Irene remember the years of the ages, the days of antiquity.[72] Why don't you respect us and my words, arbitrarily introduce strangers into my door, and commit adultery in front of my eyes[74], such as Ye Shulun, who gradually became fat and kicked, kicked and kicked[75]. Therefore, you betrayed the light and committed crimes; Cause your lord to become a slave to all servants. [76] Come back, come back, Milli tribe, don’t forget me, hey, Milesia tribe. [77] Why did you do evil in front of me, kicked away by a medicine trumpet merchant? I? [78] Why did your daughter not recognize me, and sleep in luxurious beds with Romans and Indians who do not understand the language? [79] Behold, my people, from Holeb, Nebo, and Bisgah [80] ] and Cape Hatton[81], overlooking the place where milk and money flow[82]. However, you who drink the rest will be bitter milk. The rest of the sun and the sun will be destroyed by you forever. Forever left on the road of suffering and darkness. When you kissed my lips, there was a smell of wet ashes[83]. This is also the darkness of the heart." He continued: "From the "Septuagint Greek Text Bible"[84] Wisdom, too, fails to bring it to light, or even mentions it. Dawn from the firmament breaks through the gates of hell, and visits the farthest darkness. [85] Is used to tyranny, and becomes insensitive (as Tarr [86] About my dear Stoic). Hamlet's father never showed the prince the scar of the scorching blister[87]. The opacity of the day that appears in life is like the plagues of Egypt, but the darkness before and after death, It is the most suitable place and way[88]. However, the purpose and end of all things are more or less consistent with the beginning and origin: that is, after birth, they gradually develop and grow, and then according to the laws of nature, they shrink toward the end, regress, and then retreat. The end. Our survival under the sun is also the same as many of the above-mentioned relative relationships. Three old sisters[89] delivered my baby: Wu Cao cried, gained weight, played, kissed, hugged, parted, aged, and died. Yi and others bent down to look down on our remains. First lying on a bed of woven branches among the reeds by the old Nile, rescued. [90] Finally, with the chorus of lynx and osprey, buried in a hidden tomb No one knows the location of the tomb[91], and I don’t know what judgment I will receive: go to Tophet[92] or the city of Eden[93]. Looking back, I want to know the meaning of my existence, the origin It is impossible to obtain it in such a distant place.” At this moment, Punch Costello sang "Sing, Stephen" [94].He cried out and said: "Look, Wisdom has built itself a temple, the Crystal Palace of the Creator[95], the spacious, lofty, eternal sky, in order, and a penny for whoever finds the pea.[96]" Look, Jack the Craftsman has built the big house, See how many sacs the overflowing malt has stored, Nice circus at Jack John's Camp. [97]. Alas!The gloomy sound of breaking utensils resounded through the street, echoing.Thor [ 98 ] roared to the left.The wrath of the hammer-thrower is dreadful.The storm came and calmed Costello's heart.Mr. Lin Qi looked at him and said, refrain from talking badly to people and wantonly swearing at people, which means that they should go to hell with babbling and blasphemous words that make God angry.He was provoking recklessly before, but now his complexion suddenly turned pale, attracting attention, and he shrank into a ball.At the beginning, he was aggressive, but he was terrified when he heard the words. When the thunder rumbled, his heart was beating wildly in his chest.Some sarcasm, some ridicule.Punch Costello guzzled beer again, and Mr. Lenehan swore, "I'll do the same." This was too frivolous and provocative to be taken seriously.But the braggart shouted: "Even if the godfather [99] is hidden in my cup, what does it matter to me? I will never fall behind." Then he curled up in the hall of Horn and said this, The more it shows its cowardice.To muster up his courage, he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.At this time, the thunder continued for a long time, all over the sky.Mr. Ma Deng heard the thunderbolt signal of the end of the world, and was filled with awe for a moment, beating his chest endlessly.Mr. Bloom approached the braggart to assuage his great fear, and comforted him, saying: "I only heard a little noise. Look, it is raining on Thor's head. This is a normal and natural phenomenon." But the fear of the young braggart disappears with the words of the "pacifier"?no.There are sharp nails in Gebi's chest, which are called distress, which cannot be eliminated by words.Can he be as peaceful as Bloom, as devout as Madden?Although he wanted to do so, he failed to do so.But can he try his best to rediscover the "pure" bottle that he lived on in his youth?It is true that there is no way to find the bottle because of the lack of "sacred grace".Did he hear the voice of the "birth" god in the roar, or the noise of "phenomena" as the "pacifier" said?Smell?If he hadn't plugged the tube of "understanding" (he didn't plug it), he would have heard it.Through this discipline, he begins to realize that he is in the land of "phenomena" and will die sooner or later.Geppy, like everyone else, is running a dying show.Is he willing to accept death and disappear like others?He never wants to accept it. The Phenomenon, according to the book of Laws, ordered him to do what men and wives do, and he flatly refused.Gabby does not want to engage in more performances.And yet to another land called "the one who believes in me"[100], "rejoices" in the blessed land of the king, deathless, lifeless, neither married nor married[101], motherless, eternity into which all believers can enter Where do you know nothing?Of course. "Piety" tells him about the country, and "morality" tells him the way to the country.But on the way, he met a beautiful prostitute who claimed to be "a bird in hand" and said: "Hey, you beautiful man, come with me and take you to a very good place." Tempting to go astray!With his sweet tongue, he led him into the cave called "Two Birds in the Forest", which scholars may call "carnality". This is what everyone sitting around the table in the "house of motherhood" longs for.If they meet the prostitute "with a bird in hand" (she dwells among all plagues, monsters and a demon), they will make every effort to get close to her and have sex with her.They said: "The one who believes in me" is just a concept, which cannot be understood.First of all, the "Two Birds in the Forest" where Yi lured them to go is the first cave in the world. There are four pillows inside, with four labels printed with "riding horns", "upside down", "forgiveness", and "intimacy". typeface.Secondly, the "prevention method" gave them strong shields made of cow intestines, so they don't need to be afraid of the evil epidemic "systemic syphilis" and other monsters.Third, with the shield called "infanticide", the "children" of evil spirits have no way of harming them.They then indulge in blind fantasies. The Picky, The Timely or Pious, The Drinking Monkey, The Pseudo-Freeman, The Smelly Dixon, The Young Braggart, and The Prudent Pacifier. Shout out, You unfortunates, you have been deceived. For the great roar is the voice of the great wrath of the Lord, who has stretched out His arms and cast away their souls because they have abused and squandered them in disobedience to His command to prosper. Thus, on Thursday, June 16, Patrick Dignam died of a cerebral haemorrhage.Buried underground.After a long drought, it rained happily.Said a peat boatman who sailed some fifty miles of water: "The seeds never germinated, the fields dried up, and they were very dark and foul-smelling, and so were the moors and the hills." No one remembers when the drought began. , all the buds are withered, and it is difficult to breathe.The rosebuds have all turned brown and are stained with rust, and there are only dry kudzu and branches on the hills.A single spark can start a prairie fire.The whole world is saying that compared with this drought, the disaster caused by the storm in February last year is nothing.As mentioned earlier, at sunset, the wind rises from the west, and after night falls, large dark clouds appear, rolling and expanding.Those who are happy to watch the sky look forward to it: only saw a series of lightning bolts, and at about ten o'clock, there was a loud thunder, accompanied by a long roar, and the shower was like smoke, and everyone fled home in a hurry.When the rainstorm falls, the men cover their straw hats with cloth or handkerchiefs, while the women lift up their skirts and jump away.From Erie Square, Bagot Street and Duke Lawn, across Merion Meadows to Hall Street.It was dry and cracked at the beginning, but now the water is rushing, and the sedan chairs, public carriages, and small rental carriages are all gone.However, after the first thunderbolt, the sound of thunder was no longer heard.Opposite the house of Hon. Justice Fitzgibbon,[102] "an equal in University grounds to Healy, the lawyer,[103]," Malachi Mulligan, a gentleman of gentlemen, was accommodating Mr. Moore,[104] the writer. (Original Pope, now known as the pious William sect[105]) stepped out of the house and met Alec Bannon ([106]. Bannon had short hair (in Kendall green tweed dance suit) This haircut is in fashion lately), was coming into town from Mullingar in a stagecoach, where his cousin and Malachi Mulligan's brother were said to be staying for a month until St. Swithin's.[107 ] . Ask each other where they want to go? Bannon said: "On the way home." Mulligan said: "I was invited to the Andre Horn maternity home and had a drink." The same age, fat to the heels of frivolous girls[108], due to the heavy rain, the two went to the Horne maternity hospital together. Leopold Bloom of the Crawford Daily and a gang of funny , Those who seem to be contentious sit here. Including: Dixon, a third-year student at the Hospital of Our Lady of Mercy, Vin Lynch, a Scot, Will Madden, and the trust who is sad for the horse that bet on himself. Lenehan and Stephen Dee. Leopold Bloom, who came here to recover from fatigue, has recovered a bit. Tonight he had a strange dream: his wife Molly was wearing red slippers and Turkish leggings Well-informed people say that this is a sign of entering a new stage. Mrs. Purifoy is a hospitalized expectant mother[109], but two days after the due date, she is still lying on the puerperium. The midwife is extremely anxious and does not see the delivery. I poured a bowl of rice soup that can be used as a good astringent, and I also vomited, and it was extremely difficult to breathe. Everyone said: According to the fetal movement, there must be a naughty boy, and I hope God will give birth safely. I heard that this fetus is the ninth.生存者。报喜节日[110] ，普里福伊太太曾为满周岁之小八剪指甲。然该儿已尾随其三个曾哺以母乳之兄姊夭折，仅在君王《圣经》[ 111]上用秀丽字迹留下芳名而已。夫君普里福伊业已五十开外，虽系遁道公会教徒，仍照领圣体[112] 不误。每逢主日，倘天气晴朗，彼即携二儿至阉牛港[113] 外，以装有牢固鱼轮之竿垂钓，或乘自备方头平底船，用拖网捕比目鱼与绿鳕，满载而归。如是我闻。简言之，大雨无尽，万物复苏，丰收在望。然而见多识广者云：据玛拉基[114]之历书，风雨之后预测将有火灾（吾闻拉塞尔先生本着源于印度的同一要旨，为其“农民报”[115] 撰写预见性咒文），三者不可缺一）此乃无稽之谈，仅能迷惑老妪小儿而已，但偶尔立论亦能恰当中肯，实为奇妙。 此刻利内翰趋至桌边，曰：“当日晚报上刊一函[116]，”遂浑身翻找（彼赌咒云，该函使彼心如刀绞）。经斯蒂芬劝解，彼方作罢，并嘱迅速在近旁落座。彼放荡成性，自谓生性滑稽诙谐、调皮而不怀恶意。平素玩弄女人、赛马、传播淫秽艳闻为其拿手好戏。实言之，彼身无长物，与人贩子、马夫、赌注经纪人、二流子、走私者、徒弟、暗娼、妓女以及其他无赖为伍，多在咖啡店及小酒馆中盘桓。或经常与萍水相逢之法警及巡警狂饮蛋糖白葡萄酒[117] ，自午夜至天明，探听众多黄色丑闻。彼通常就餐于简易食堂，只凭囊中仅有之一枚六便士银币，即可吃上一碗残羹剩饭或一盘下水。随即鼓起舌簧，满口皆更自娼妓之流的淫乱秽语，致使每个母胎所生之子莫不捧腹。另一男子科斯特洛闻言，问该函文系诗乎？或故事乎？利内翰曰：“皆非也，弗兰克（此乃科斯特洛之名），该函涉及因瘟疫而即将悉数被屠杀之凯里母牛。让其连同罐头牛肉一道见鬼去！（彼眨眼云）遭瘟的！锡器中盛有无比美味之鱼，请品尝之。”遂殷勤劝弗兰克进食旁边所置腌西鲱鱼。其间，利内翰贪婪注视之，终于得手。彼饿矣，食鱼实乃此行之主要目的。弗兰克遂用法语云：“让母牛死光。”彼曾受雇于一名在波尔多[118] 拥有酒窖之白兰地出口商，操上流人士之文雅法语。弗兰克生性怠情，其父（一小警官）煞费苦心，送彼学习文理并掌握地球仪；注册升入大学，专攻机械学。然而彼任性放肆若未驯之野驹，对法官与教区差役比对书本更亲。彼一度志愿做演员，继而欲当随军酒食小贩，时赖赌账，时又耽于斗熊[119]与斗鸡。忽而立志乘船远航，忽而又与吉卜赛人结伙，浪迹天涯；借月光绑架乡出之嗣子，或偷女佣之内衣，或藏身于柴垣之后，勒死雏鸡。彼离家出走之次数与猫儿转生不相上下。每逢囊空如洗，彼即返回家中。其父任小警官，每次见彼即洒下一品脱泪水。利奥波德先生诚心欲知晓缘由，乃抱臂曰：“彼等欲将牛屠杀殆尽乎？今朝吾确曾见到牛群，将用船载往利物浦[120] 。吾不相信事情竟至如此糟糕。”数载前，彼曾在约瑟夫·卡夫[121] 先生手下任雇员。卡夫乃一可敬之生意人，在普鲁西亚街加文·洛先生的牧场附近从事畜牧业，在草地上拍卖牲畜。因此，布卢姆对传种牲畜、产前之母牛、满两岁之肥公猪以及阉羊，均十分熟悉。“吾对汝言持有疑问，”彼曰，“牛所患之疾病听来更似支气管炎或牛舌炎。”斯蒂芬先生略为动容，但仍文质彬彬地答曰：“并非如此。奥地利皇帝[ 122]之御马主事已发来快函表示谢意。彼将派遣全莫斯科维[ 123] 首屈一指之名兽医[124] ——牛瘟博士，凭藉一两粒大药丸，即能抓住公牛角[ 125] 。”“呔，吹，”文森特先生曰，“坦率言之，倘该博士对爱尔兰公牛动手，必将被牛角勾住，进退维谷。”“名称与产地均为爱尔兰，”斯蒂芬先生曰，并依次为众人斟浓啤酒，一如闯入英国瓷器店中之一头爱尔兰公牛。[126] “吾理解汝意，”迪克森先生曰，“此即农场主尼古拉斯送往本岛之同一公牛[127] 耳。彼为最优秀之家畜饲养员，鼻孔上穿着一枚绿宝石[128] 环。”“诚然诚然，”文森特先生隔桌曰，“一语道破，如此膘肥体壮之公牛，从未在三叶苜蓿[129]上拉过屎。彼生有巨角，毛色金黄，鼻孔散发芳香，若袅袅轻烟。本岛妇女遂撇下生面团与擀面杖，与公牛殿下戴上串串雏菊花环，随彼而去。”“何以至此？”迪克森先生曰，公牛动身之前，宦官兼农场主尼古拉斯嘱一帮同为阉人之医生，将其彻底阉割之。尼古拉斯云：'去！吾表弟哈利陛下之命令，汝必言听计从。现接受农场主之祝福！'话音未落，啪地击其臀部。”“表示祝福之一击，稗益良多。”文森特先生曰：“作为补偿，彼将力量相当于两头公牛之秘诀传授下来。处女、妻子、女修道院院长与寡妇至今断言，伊等与其跟爱尔兰四片绿野[130] 上最英俊、强壮、专门勾引女人之年轻小伙子睡觉， 不如随时都于幽暗牛棚中，对着牛耳嗫嚅[131] ，并希望彼用神圣的长舌舔自己的脖颈。” 此刻另一男子曰：“伊等给彼穿上刺绣花边衣裙，配以坎肩及腰带，袖口缀以褶边，将额发剪短，浑身涂以鲸脑油[132] 。于每一街角为其筑一座黄金牛槽[133]，装满市上最上等干草，供其尽情伏卧拉屎。此时教友们之神父（彼等对公牛之别称）因过于肥胖，难以步行至牧场。为了不使其受累，工于心计之妇人及姑娘乃将饲料兜在围裙中为彼送去。饱餐后，彼用后腿立起，供太大小姐一窥奥秘，并以公牛之语既吼且叫，伊等齐声效之。” “哎，”另一人曰，“彼益愈纵容自己，除了供自己食用之绿草（彼头脑中惟有绿色）不容国土上生长任何植物。岛屿中央之小山丘，竖有一牌，上云：“奉哈利王[134] 御旨，地上生绿草。”“因此，”迪克森先生曰，“只要风闻罗斯康芒或康尼马拉原野上有盗牲畜者，抑或斯莱戈[135] 农夫播种一把芥籽或一袋菜籽，彼即奉哈利王御旨，跑遍半壁乡村，用犄角将所种之物连根掘起。”“起初二人之间发生争执，”文森特先生曰，“哈利王称农场主尼古拉斯为'天下老尼克[136] 之大杂烩'，家中蓄七名私娼之老鸨[ 137] 。吾欲惩戒之。尼古拉斯曰：'用先父遗下之牛阴茎快鞭，使此畜生一尝地狱味道'。”“然某日傍晚，”迪克森先生曰，“哈利王于划船比赛中获得冠军（彼使用鍬型桨子，惟依比赛规章第一条， 其他选手均用草耙划船），为了赴晚宴，彼正修整高贵之皮肤[138] 时，发现自己酷似公牛。遂翻阅藏于餐具室、手垢斑斑之小册子[139] ，查明自己确系罗马人通称为“牛中之牛”[140] 那头著名斗牛[141] 旁系之后裔。其名字确为蹩脚拉丁语，意即：“展览主持者。”“此后，”文森特先生曰，“哈利于当众廷臣之面，将头扎进牛之饮水槽，及至从水中伸出头后，告以自己之新名[142] 。彼听任水哗哗流淌， 身着祖母所遗旧罩衫及裙子，并购一册公牛语[143] 语法书习之。然而只学会人称代名词，遂用大字抄录，默记之，每当外出散步，衣袋中辄装满粉笔，在岩石边沿、茶馆桌子、棉花包或软木浮子上胡乱涂写。简言之。彼与爱尔兰牛[144] 旋即成为莫逆，犹如臀部与衬衫然。”“此语不差”，斯蒂芬先生曰，“其结果，本岛男子发现负情女子异口同声，无可救药。遂建造舟筏，携家财登船，桅杆尽皆竖起，举行登舷礼，转船首向风，顶风停泊，扬起三面帆，在风与水之间挺起船首，起锚，转舵向左，海盗旗迎风飘扬，三呼万岁，每次三遍，开动舱底污水泵，离开兜售杂物之小舟，驶至海面上，航往美洲大陆。”“彼时，”文森特先生曰，“一水手长谱一首滑稽歌曲： 教皇彼得虽尿床， 仍不失为男子汉。[145]” 学生们之寓言行将结束时，吾等畏友玛拉基·穆利根先生偕初邂逅之友出现于门口，系一青年绅士，名亚历克·班农[146] 也。彼新近进城，报名参军，欲在国防军中购一旗手或骑兵旗手之位置[147]。适才谈论之治病方案，与穆利根先生之方针不谋而合，因此彼欣然表示兴趣。乃递予众人各一组名片，系当日出自昆内尔先生之印刷厂承印者。上以秀丽之斜体字印着“兰贝岛”[148]“受精媒介业人工授精业玛拉基·穆利根先生”。彼阐述曰：在城里，福普林·波平杰伊[149]爵士与米尔克索普·奎德南克[150] 爵士游手好闲，专事寻欢作乐。彼拟远离此圈子，献身于赋予吾曹肉体机能之最高尚事业。“好友请道来，吾等当洗耳恭听，”迪克森先生曰，“个中想必有猥亵气味。二位且移身坐下。坐与站都一样便宜。[151] ”穆利根先生遂接受邀请，对听众详述其计划。此计划系根据对不妊之原因进行考察而得，原因包括抑制与禁欲。抑制乃夫妇不和或互不协调所致，禁欲则由于天生缺陷或后天之习癖。彼曰：目睹新婚燕尔之床最宝贵之担保[152]被剥夺，痛何如哉。众多可人之富孀被恶贯满盈之僧侣所霸占，禁锢于格格不入之女修道院中，使光艳藏诸木斗之下[153]；另有如花似玉之女子，在市井粗鄙之徒怀中凋零，而伊等本应倍享幸福。如上诸多冰清玉洁之女性成为牺牲品，而附近本有百名英俊男子欲爱之不能。穆利根云，每念及此，心如刀割。为了免除祸患（彼已下结论，认为此乃潜热受到压抑之故），彼与有识之士共商谈对策，决心向兰贝岛主塔尔博待·德马拉海德爵士[ 154]购买该岛土地之绝对所有权及自由保有权。此爵士系著名之托利党成员，对蒸蒸日上之吾党颇加赞许。乃提议在此建造国立受精场[155] ，取名“中心”，并竖一方尖碑[156] ，乃据埃及式样凿成。不论何等身分之女子，凡欲满足其天然官能者一旦来此，彼必为之忠心效劳，俾使之受孕。彼曰，吾所图并非金钱，劳务费不取分文。最穷之厨娘乃至社交界阔夫人，只要渴望在身心方面得到尽情满足，均能在彼处找到理想之男性。彼曰，为了取得营养，食谱限于馥郁之球根、鱼及野兔——尤其后者乃多产啮齿动物，极适宜达到彼之目的。不论烤或炖，只需添上一片肉豆寇叶，一二颗辣椒即可。热切而坚定地发表完此冗长演说之后，穆利根先生立即取下遮帽手帕。二人似均受雨淋。虽已加快步伐，通身仍均湿透，见于彼所着灰色手织灰呢短裤上之斑纹。众人闻其计划，莫不欣喜，并衷心颂扬之。惟独玛利亚医院之迪克森先生则故意责难。谓：彼欲运煤至纽卡斯尔[157]乎？穆利根先生则对该学者报以脑中所记一段恰如其分之古典引文，根据既充分，又能雍容大方地支持其论点：噫，诸市民，当代道义之颓废，江河日下。吾辈家中妇女，偏爱被温柔男予以手指作淫荡之搔痒，而弃罗马百人队长之沉重辜丸及异常勃起于不顾。[158] 彼并为不够机智者举出更合乎彼等胃口之动物界实例——诸如树林间空地上之公鹿母鹿，农家场院中之公鸭母鸭等，以此类推，阐述要点。 彼饶舌家着实仪表堂堂，并素以风度翩翩自豪。现将话题转至本人服装上，对天气之乍变，愤然予以谴责。众人则大赞此公所提方案。其友， 一年轻绅士，对新近之艳遇[159] 喜不自胜，不禁告知邻座。此刻，穆利根先生扫视桌面， 问饼与鱼[160]系供何人食用？及至瞥见异邦人，乃彬彬有礼地深打一躬，问曰：“敢问足下需要吾曹在专业方面提供协助欤？”异邦人闻言，衷心表示谢意， 却依然保持适当之距离。答曰：彼乃为霍恩产院一名女病友而来。 不幸伊属难产（言至此，深叹一声），欲知是否已安然分娩。 迪克森先生嘲笑穆利根先生之初期腹部肥大症以转换气氛，曰： “此乃前列腺囊内部或男性子宫内部卵子怀胎之征兆乎？抑或如名医奥斯汀·梅尔顿[ 161] 先生所云，乃胃中之狼[162] 所致乎？”穆利根先生从腰部发出一阵哄笑作答，毅然拍打横隔膜下部，并很精采且滑稽地模仿葛罗甘老婆婆[163]（惜伊系一妓女[164]，但仍不失为最杰出之女性），同时扬言：“妾腹从未养过私孩子也。”彼演技高超奇巧，哄笑屡屡爆发，使满室无不振奋喜悦。 倘非前厅发出警报声，此场轻快喧嚣之摹拟闹剧仍将续演。 闻者非他人，乃一苏格兰学生也。此公性易激动，金发宛如亚麻，以无比热烈之语气向该年轻绅士[165]深表祝贺。绅士谈兴正浓时，彼予以打断，以谦恭之神态向对面所坐人士招手，恳请递与一瓶甘露酒。同时，将头一歪，似有所迟疑（即使整整一世纪之良好教养，亦未必能训练出如此优雅之举止）。然后将瓶子朝相反方向倾之，以清楚之口齿询问该讲述者：“饮一杯如何，”“拜受，[166] 贵客，”彼欣然曰，“万谢，[167] 。此举正合时宜。有此杯酒，吾之幸福方能完满。然而，上天保佑，即使吾行囊中仅有些许饼屑，以及一杯井水，吾亦深感满足，并甘愿跪于地下，为万宝之赐与者所确保之幸福，向上苍之神力致谢。”言讫，彼将杯凑至唇边，以心满意足之神态，饮甘露酒少许，抚发袒胸，拽出丝带所系之小匣。匣内嵌有女友亲笔题字之相片。彼接后，甚为珍爱。彼含情脉脉审视该面影，并曰：“噫，先生，倘汝若吾然，于激动人心之刹那间，目睹伊人身着雅致披肩，头戴俏丽新软帽[ 168] （伊以悦耳声调，告以此乃生日礼物也），淳朴洒脱， 温存妖冶；足下必慨然向之五体投地，或永远逃离战场。吾断言，此生从未如此动心。主啊，感谢尔为吾创造日日夜夜。备受该倩女青睐者，诚为三生有幸。”无限温存之叹息愈益使此番话语感人至深。彼将小匣揣入怀中，并再度拭泪叹息。“大慈大悲之天主，尔所创造之物，普获尔之祝福。尔之治下最美妙者乃人之恋情也。恋情如此深广伟大，足以使自由人与奴隶，蠢乡巴佬与文雅纨袴子弟，风华正茂、热情奔放之情人与中年丈夫，均顿然堕入五里雾中。然而先生，吾走题矣。吾曹现世之欢乐是何等杂以悲哀，何等不完美。命运不济！”彼痛苦呼叫曰，“倘若主上赋吾以先见之明，提醒吾携带雨衣，当不至此！”遂不禁落泪。“纵下七场骤雨，对吾曹亦毫无害处。吾过于大意矣！”彼手击前额，大声曰，“明日将迎来新的一天，雷鸣千遍。吾识一'外衣'商人[169] 波因茨先生，可售与法式舒适'外衣'，每件一里弗尔[170] ，确保不致湿及女方。”“呔呔！”授精业者[171] 大声插嘴曰，“吾友穆尔[172] 先生乃一非凡之旅人（适才吾与彼[173] 曾共饮酒半瓶，座中有市内博学之士），彼据可靠消息告知，霍恩岬角，雨势猛烈[174] ，致使所有'外衣'（无论何等结实），均已湿透。彼曰，诚然[175] ，大雨倾盆，罹难者无一不当即匆匆告别人世。”“呸！一里弗尔[176] ！”林奇先生大声曰，“货色粗陋至此，不值一苏[177]”耳。'伞'[178]之大小纵然仅及仙女蘑菇[179] ，然亦顶得过十件如此'搪孔之物'。任何稍有机智之女子，决不会用此等'外衣'。吾之情妇基蒂今日相告，伊情愿舞于洪水中，亦不愿在救命方舟中挨饿。何耶？伊对予倾诉云（此时，尽管除翩翩起舞之蝴蝶，绝无偷听者，伊依然脸色红涨，附耳低语）：'吾曹生就无垢之肌肤，换个情况必将导致破坏礼仪，然而在二种场合下[180] ，会成为唯一之可身衣裳。蒙自然女神赐与神圣祝福后，吾曹心中铭刻该语之意，而今已家喻户晓。吾搀扶该姣好哲学家坐上双轮马车后，伊用舌尖轻触吾外耳廓以引起吾之注意，告曰：'头一种场合，乃是入浴……，”彼时，前厅铃响，今番足以丰富吾曹知识宝库之议论遂被打断矣。 正当举座说笑寻欢作乐之际，铃声大作，众人遂纷纷猜测。须臾，卡伦小姐步入，对青年迪克森先生蹑嚅数言讫，向与座者深打一躬，然后退去。一贤淑端庄、容貌标致之淑女一时出现于荡子群中，彼等淫荡之徒便即刻收敛其轻佻猥亵。然而俟伊退出后，秽言秽语刹那间重新爆发。“吾甚觉荒唐矣，”酩酊大醉之痞子科斯特洛曰，“极美味之母牛肉！伊想必邀汝幽会。狗杂种作如何想？汝精于此道矣。”“确然如此，”林奇先生曰，“圣母济贫院同人擅长床上技巧。孽种奥加格大夫不曾搔诸护士下颚欤？七个月以来，吾基蒂在该院病房任护士，此系伊所告，当属确凿。”“大夫，祈天主可怜奴家！”身着淡黄色背心之后生[181] 仿妇人腔调狂呼傻笑，并扭动身躯作淫荡态曰：“汝勿戏弄奴家！讨厌鬼！呜呼，妾浑身颤悠发晕矣。汝之轻薄，确与可爱之小神父坎特基塞姆[182] 不相上下！”“倘若伊未身怀六甲，”卡斯特洛大叫曰，“吾将被此啤酒呛得半死矣！大凡由于有喜而膨胀之妇女，吾只消瞟一眼即可看出。”此时青年外科医生[183] 起身，乞求众人准其退席，盖护士顷通知彼需立即赶赴病房也。彼曰：“该怀孕妇女曾以可钦之刚毅忍受阵痛，而上苍大发慈悲，已结束其苦难，使之生下一名强壮男婴。吾无法容忍某些人士。彼等既无足以使人开心之机智又乏指导他人之学识，竟对护士这一高贵天职肆意辱骂，而除却应予以敬畏之神明外，护士乃最造福人间者。伊所从事之高尚职业，非但不应成为笑柄，且可激励人心，使之向上。吾敢断言，倘有必要，吾能推出多如云彩之证人[184]，以阐述该项职业如何不比寻常。吾实难宽恕彼等。何以竟中伤和蔼可亲之卡伦小姐这等人！伊乃女性之光辉，实令男性叹服不已。护士所接生者乃用尘土造出之[185] 小娃，当此最关键之时刻加以诽谤，该念头实属可恶至极！竟播下如此邪恶之种籽，以致产妇与接生婆在霍恩产院得不到应有之尊重。每念及民族之未来，辄不寒而栗。”谴责完毕，彼乃向与座众人点头示意，走向门外。举座发出一片赞同之低语声，有人扬言应立即将该下流醉汉逐之门外。此计划几近付诸实践，将给彼以应有之惩罚。然而彼可鄙地赌咒发誓（而且发得八面玲珑），谓彼乃天下最善良之人子也，从而减轻其罪责。“谨以吾之生命发誓，”彼曰，“诚实的弗兰克·科斯特洛自幼被教以格外孝敬父母[186]。 家母擅长做果酱布丁卷与麦片糊，吾一向对她怀有敬爱之心。”
